text: remote - One-time Wordpress hosting provider switch and migration help needed.<p>I need help choosing a more appropriate WordPress host and migrating my three sites to the new host.  I currently use WP Engine and pay $99&#x2F;month for three sties with less than 1,000 visitors per month combined.<p>Two of the sites are very small and straightforward blogs.  They are czstrong.com and theladude.com
The other site is my businesses website - cpustorage.com.  I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s very complex either.<p>The Job:<p>* Recommend a new hosting solution that is less than $50&#x2F;month.  The cheaper the better, as long as it&#x27;s reliable and easy to manage and deploy to.<p>* Migrate my three websites to the new provider.<p>* Setup SSL on the signup page of cpustorage.com<p>* Teach me how to manage the site.  I currently use Git Push to Deploy, so if the new host had that that&#x27;d be nice.  Or, feel free to teach me an even easier way to deploy!<p>I would like to pay a flat-fee for the whole project.  I don&#x27;t care if it just takes you a couple hours to do it.  I&#x27;m not familiar with how much I should be paying for this, so please provide me with a quote.<p>If you&#x27;d like to help me with this project, please email me with your quote and telling me a bit about your relevant experience.  I created these three sites myself and set them all up so I can help you get this done as efficiently as possible.<p>Thanks!<p>Chris<p>cstrong153@gmail.com
